Paid leaves between Boxing Day and New Year’s Day

With a reduction in services at UBC every year between Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, there are provisions for paid leave in several staff agreements.

Five staff employee groups qualify for leave

There are provisions for paid leave in several staff agreements for this seasonal closure each year between Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

The five staff employee groups with this leave provision are BCGEU Okanagan, CUPE 2950, CUPE 116, IUOE 115, and AAPS.

Options for other groups: Although there's no official policy in place for non-union staff, excluded management and professional staff, and service unit directors, UBC's human resources team has recommendations regarding these groups.
